Studio - 25. Step
13: "Links"
In this step you can specify the connections (links or shortcuts) that you want to create on the destination system. These links will serve to simplify the user booting the installed applications or view important documents.
The
inscription at the top right indicates the number of links created with
the current package.
It's idea to create the links only for programs (ie executable files) distributed with your software (see step 4 "Data") and documentation (text file, html, hlp, chm, etc.).. These links can be placed in a folder in the Start Menu, or in the Start Menu Programs group. Instead you should place on the desktop connection only to the main program (often the desktop shortcuts are not welcome to the user). It's possible also insert a link to the main program in the Startup group in the Start Menu, so that when you start your system (or rather, the connection to the system user that performed the installation) to start the program that tip link.
Note:
It's possible create shortcuts in any folder on the target system, but it is
highly recommended to use as target only the Start Menu folder or the
desktop of the current user. To do this you must use patterns, "|$UserMenuFolder$|"
(the current user's Start menu), "|$AutoExecPath$|"
(Startup folder of the current user's Start menu) or "|$DesktopPath$| (current user's
desktop). In any folder, except the "|$UserMenuFolder$|",
the user should be required to create the link.
It's possible to create links that point to any file on the target system, but you should point them only to distributed files in your package (see step 4 "Application Data"), unless you have special needs and have to create shortcuts to programs you are sure of existence (eg tools offered by the default operating system).
CyberInstaller
Studio - 25.1. Operation
This step is presented as a
list that lists the links for the current installation package. This
list is divided into 5 columns:
Destination: destination folder where you will create the shortcut (expressed using patterns of system, since it refers to the system destination).
Name: description that will have the link (next to the icon).
File bet: full path to the file that will point the link (expressed using patterns of system, since it refers to the target system).
Command Line: Any parameters that you want to launch the file pointed to.
Confirmation: If "Yes" will ask the user before creating the link.

Note:
Instead of the buttons Add, Edit, Delete and Clear, you can use the
context menu (pop-up) on the list. This menu is
activated by a click with right mouse button on the list. This has the advantage that,
in editing and elimination, there is a greater certainty that you have
selected the item you want and operate exactly the item you want.
